Vegas confirmed

Not a fan, looks too simple, probably a quick lap time too.

I’m gonna reserve judgment until we see racing action in it

Strongly opposed to them replacing either of those teams outside engine supply.

Would prefer they purchase Williams or possibly even Sauber.

It should be good for overtaking in theory and reckon it'll be like an easier version of baku and jeddah. Gives me rbr, sochi and monza vibes

The much rumoured Audi + Porsche entries to F1 appear to be as close as they've ever been according to Reuters.

"Audi will offer around 500 million euros ($556.30 million) for McLaren, one source said, while Porsche intends to establish a long-term partnership with racing team Red Bull starting in several years' time."

That’s a lot lol. There were rumours about this re mclaren last year. Vw entry into f1 has been rumoured for ages. It makes sense for both to go with an existing team already and there are some possibilities tbh

McLaren would be a good choice from an Audi point of view at least.

Maybe, but with McLaren you may also get the roadcar division ad well. Haas might be a good point for entry as Gene is looking to sell, dauber recently had an offer from Andretti so would they go for it (I release Audi is a better offerer)

In fact, thinking about it if I were Sauber I’d go with Audi, make it the hat trick of big German car manufactures you’ve been with lol

I would strongly oppose the roadcar division/company as a whole moving into German hands.

Mclaren was owned by Mercedes till late 00s / mclaren was the works mercedes team from 1995-2009. Tbf, audi owns lamborghini & Ducati and have helped them greatly in gt racing and moto gp
